Abstract

A first product dispenser is provided and includes a housing defining an opening and a cover hingedly connected to the housing, where the cover is frictionally engaged with the housing. The housing is so constructed and arranged to allow a user to apply pressure to the housing and cause the cover to disengage from the housing to enable a designated number of the comestible products to be dispensed from the housing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A comestible product dispenser comprising: 
 a housing defining an opening; and    a cover hingedly connected to the housing, said cover being frictionally engaged with the housing,    wherein the housing is so constructed and arranged to allow a user to apply pressure to the housing and cause the cover to disengage from the housing to enable a designated number of the comestible products to be dispensed from the housing.    
   
   
       2 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the housing includes at least one fin to support the housing.  
   
   
       3 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 1 , which includes at least one hinge connected between the housing and the cover.  
   
   
       4 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the cover includes at least one tab.  
   
   
       5 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the cover includes at least one display area.  
   
   
       6 . A comestible product dispenser comprising: 
 a housing defining an interior to receive comestible product; and    a cover movably connected to the housing, wherein a user squeezes at least a portion of the housing and compresses the air inside the housing until the pressure of the compressed air against the cover causes the cover to disengage from the housing to allow the comestible product to be dispensed from the housing.    
   
   
       7 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 6 , which includes at least one hinge connected between the housing and the cover to allow the cover to pivot.  
   
   
       8 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the housing includes at least one fin to support the housing.  
   
   
       9 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the cover includes at least one tab.  
   
   
       10 . The comestible product dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the cover includes at least one display area.  
   
   
       11 . A method for dispensing comestible products comprising: 
 at least partially squeezing a housing to compress the air within the housing, wherein said housing is sized to hold a plurality of comestible product;    causing a cover connected to the housing to disengage from the housing when the force of the compressed air against the cover exceeds the force of the friction holding the cover to the housing; and    dispensing at least one of the comestible products.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , which includes hingedly connecting the cover and the housing to allow the cover to pivot.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11 , which includes connecting at least one fin inside of the housing.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11 , which includes providing at least one display area on the cover.
